I purchased the 1/32 Revell Kenworth T600A Snap kit on a whim figuring that it was an easy kit, not too many parts, and that I should be able to whip it out in a weekend. Wrong! Life got in the way, the weather didn't cooperate, and a paint disaster kept me from finishing it in a weekend. Three weeks later, it's finally finished.
It is box stock. I only painted the colored plastic, used some BMF, and used the stickers (yes, stickers) from the kit.
Enjoy!
Jim

Very nice...the only thing that sets it back is those tiny lil black center hubs since it's a snap kit....I'll shut up now!

Not too much I can do about those. If I build this kit again I'll probably replace the wheels, but I'm not sure where to get better tires for a civilian truck in this scale. If it was a military truck, I'd have no problem.

Tires I can't help ya with, but....measure the inner area on the front rims so I know what the size is for a set of "hub caps" like I did for my needlenose pete{rivets}...I'll see what I can find that'll fit there and iin back. You'll have to make a hub for them to sit on in back of course. A decimal reading helps best....got a digi caliper?

No, no calipers (digital or otherwise).
I'm probably going to leave this one alone for now. Still got to work on the Fletcher.
